The computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival company for $950 million, which is part of a deal that will make it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market.
million, which is part of a deal that will make
million, a part of a deal that makes
million, part of a deal making
million as a part of a deal to make
million as part of a deal that will make
选对了 但不太好懂
A选项:which指代不明确;
B选项:冠词a多余;时态应该一般将来时;
C选项:making并无法指出将来时态;
D选项:改变语义了,文章意思是XX将变成。。。而不是XX的目的是。。。;a 多余;
"making xxxx" is a consequence of the action. If you write "a deal making xxxx", you're implying that the deal is making xxxx at the time of the action described.
E.g., if you write My teenage daughter wears skirts over leggings, exemplifying a trend sweeping the nation, you're implying that the trend is already "sweeping the nation" right now. If my daughter's actions start the trend, this sentence isn't accurate.
"a part of a deal" is CONCRETE, so it stands for the preceding noun.
COMMA + ABSTRACT NOUN is allowed to stand for the ENTIRE IDEA OF THE PRECEDING CLAUSE.
COMMA + CONCRETE NOUN usually stands for the DIRECTLY PRECEDING NOUN.

which不能指代句子
同位语需要紧跟先行词
”BC之所以错是因为当同位语想要修饰前面整个句子时,同位语需要是抽象名词,例如I went to the bar with Mr.Smith, an outing that made me very happy. 而当同位语是具象名词时,同位语只能就近修饰前面的一个noun,例如:I went to the bar with Mr.Smith, a consultant from Fresno“
同位语用法注意!
同位语,见RON解释:http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/post35386.html#p35386

有点像这个,note as 啥➕that 从句
D的to make的逻辑主语是the computer company 所以后面的it要用反身代词itself,错了

同位语需要紧跟先行词,此处a part of a deal无法修饰先行词,BC排除
E 变成公司使公司变成 所以应该用make itself
A里,which不能指代句子,算作没有先行词;B,同位语,但是也没有先行词,动词时态不对;C也无先行词,动词时态也不对;D,wordy,表示become the largest manufacture 是这个deal的一部分,而不是这个deal的outcome,显然表示outcome会更好;E,表示Outcome, 动词时态是将来时,correct.
如果选择D选项,则应该是... million as a part of a deal to make itself the ... 因为此处动作的发出者仍旧是the computer company,所以需要使用反身代词。B/C时态都错误,应该是将来时,都做还没发生,因而需使用将来时态。
if you use the infinitive "to make", then the computer company is still the subject of the sentence. therefore, in this case you have to use the reflexive pronoun: itself. as an analogy, i can't look at me in the mirror, but i can look at myself in the mirror. same deal.
D中的it改成itself是不是更好
(E) million as part of a deal that will make (as part of a deal修饰前面整个句子it will purchase the division for $$;that用限定定语修饰deal,避免D中the company做主语需要反身代词的情况;will make和前面的will purchase时态呼应,正确答案)
part of a deal
Ron 说是concrete
(C) million, part of a deal making (同位语的错误同B;making表示the deal is making it the largest xxx at the time when the company will purchase the division, 时态不匹配,应该都用将来时;另外说下 a part of a deal 和part of a deal都可以对;)
(D) million as a part of a deal to make (to make的主语是the company,导致the company will make it the largest xxx, 那么这里对自己的动作需要用到反身代词itself而不是it,e.g. 我们不能说I made me happy. 要说I made myself happy.)
(A) million, which is part of a deal that will make (这个错误不用多说,which只能修饰前面紧接的部分,这里是$950 million,doesn't make any sense since $$ is not a part of a deal here, the purchase is a part of the deal)
(B) million, a part of a deal that makes (同位语,ok,同位语must tag the immediately preceding noun,所以B/C错误一样,同位语错误同位$950 million;因为deal还不存在,只能用that will make而不能用makes)
